Daniel Temkin is one of the O.G. digital glitch artists, so I was thrilled when he forwarded his latest project, Straightened Trees. "They're tree images re-organized so that the tree is perfectly straight & centered, using a mix of Photoshop techniques and custom code."

Anne, director of the show toco toco, forwarded this fantastic episode Nukeme, a glitch fashion creator and artist "who hacks sewing machines to create glitch embroidery or datas collected on net to create various works." Worth a look to get an interesting insight into the intersection of Japanese fashion and physical glitch.

Hypercolor, ecstatic, noisy, simultaneously beautiful and disruptive visualizations are in this great, short music video. The music is created by Nico Antwerp, a Genoa-born and London-based electronic music producer and sound artist, and the video by Benjamin Sammon.

Interested in how the above video was made? Here's a description, attached by Nico:

Using a combination of analogue video techniques and editing software I create nostalgia inducing, ultra vibrant, glitched out colourscapes. My production technique is slightly unconventional for modern video post-production. Whereas most would create visual effects in software such as Adobe After Effects I use a chain of analogue video effects processors seen by most as obsolete. This includes a mixer based on the Karl Klomp dirty mixer, which I built into the body of an old stills camera, combining two different video inputs to create a messy glitchy output. A mixer built into an incense pyramid, which glitches the video signal based on the volume from an audio input. I also use the Critter and Guitari Videoscope, which is essentially an oscilloscope creating a video waveform of the audio input. Plus, my favourite piece of gear is the Tachyons+ Fun21; a circuit bent Archer Video Processor, originally made for people who wanted to improve the quality of their home movies back in the 1990’s.

Yes. My most irrational fear is that of dying space. MAYBE IT'S NOT SO IRRATIONAL THOUGH, HUH? Maybe we're going to go to space soon to get off this dying planet?! Maybe I'm going to spiral out into the voi--OK, moving on.

Way's Notes

Hi!

In case you like the news more than you like the glitch art, we'll be back to our regular news-packed issue next week. I just really had to catch up on some submissions and go to roots: glitch art!

Quick announcement! Sonya Mann of Exolymph fame and I have been running the Cyberpunk Futurism Chat Slack group for a while now and we thought it'd be cool to open it up to Glitchet members, too. So I'll be including a link to the signup page at the bottom of these newsletters in case you want to come chat with us (and here's the link right here today, too).

Interested in putting your money where your Glitchet is? You can support Glitchet with a monthly subscription on Patreon, or a one-time payment via PayPal.

Money for Glitchet goes into paying for server costs, spending more time developing it, and telling it you love it.

Alternatively, if cryptocurrency is more your bag, you can send me meager amounts of cyber money at these wallet addresses:
